Update Week One: Annual Windflower Holiday Book Sale

What a great week and kickoff to the Annual Windflower Holiday Sale. We now have preliminary sales from November: 23 books!! Thank you very much!! And we have 7 more to add to the total from the first week in December. That gives us 30 and a great start to this year’s sale. More importantly, that is $150.00 in the bank for Minwaashin Lodge.

That’s the whole point!! This year during the months of December and November, I will be donating $5.00 from the sale of every Windflower book to the Minwaashin Lodge in Ottawa. Minwaashin Lodge is a healing centre in Ottawa that provides a range of programs and services to First Nations, Inuit and Metis women and children who are survivors of domestic and other forms of violence, and who may also be suffering the effects of the residential school system.

The mission of Minwaashin Lodge is to provide wholistic programs and services for grandmothers, women, children and youth impacted by family violence and residential schooling. All programs and services are provided in the context of cultural beliefs and values as part of the healing journey.

The money donated will go to support First Nations, Inuit and Metis women and children to have a good meal and presents from Santa under the tree on Christmas morning.

You don’t even have to buy a book to participate in this event. You can make your own donation (See Special Offer below). For more information about Minwaashin Lodge and to make your own donation please visit:

If you make a donation to Minwaashin Lodge I will donate an additional $5.00. Just let me know that you’ve made a contribution. In addition I will send a signed copy of the latest Sgt. Windflower Mystery, A Twist of Fortune, to you, or a friend or relative of choice, anywhere in the world.

E-mail me at mike54martin@yahoo.ca and I’ll send the other book along. And of course, add my additional donation to the cause.

The Windflower books are available in Chapters/Indigo stores across Canada and at Chapters.ca
